Illkellaneras pairing , i THE OLD MAN. There is hardly a more beautiful lyric in i the language than the following by Oliver ! Wendall HOLME6 : I saw him once before, As he passed by the door,? And again, The parement stones resonnd, As he totters o'er the ground, With his cane. They say that in his prime. E'er the pruning knife of time Cut him down; Not a better man was found, By the crier on his round, Through the town. But now he walks the streets And he looks on all he meets, So forlorn; - M- 1 J And he shakes his ieeoie neau, i And seems as if he said? They are gone ! The motsy marbles rest On the lips that he has press'J, In their bloom ; And the names he lored to hear, Have been carr'd for many a year, On the tomb. My grandmama has saidPoor old lady she is dead, Long ago? That he had a Roman nose, And his cheek was like a rose In the snow; But now his nose is thin And it hangs upon his chin, Like a staff: And a crook is in hiyback And a melancholy crack, In his langh. I know it is a sin. For me to set and grin, At him here, But his old three corner'd hat, And breeches and all that, Are so queer. And if I should live to be, The last leaf on the tree, In the spring, Let them smile as I do now, At the old forsaken bough, Where I cling. From the Marion American. THE PALMETTOES IN MEXICO. BY ONE OF THE TWO HUNDRED. NSW SERIES?XO. III. The regiment of December accepted the field officers who had been elected by the ?:?Thov wore Col. Pierce I reglWUUlr VI l? UUV. AMVJ W. - M. Butler, Lieut. Col. James P. Dickenson, and Maj. A. H. Gladden. The last is the only one who survived the battles. Pierce M. Butler was elected Colonel by acclamation, without his knowledge, and while he was in the wildernesses of the West. It was a tribute worthy of the man While he was in the West, among the Indians, on public service, when a leader for the Palmettoes was to be chosen, although there were hundreds of men in South Carolina who would have led them iuto the very jaws of death, all eyes were turned to him, and a message was sent to him to come home, and lead them. He was one of the most chivalrous men in the State?a soldier by profession. If there was a man in South Carolina whom I would have followed with equal confidence, it was Geu. James Jones, of Edgefield. Colonel Butler was nearly fifty years of age, slightly gray, but which was more the result of disease and hardship than of age. In figure he was tall and commanding, more than six feet high, and of elegant soldierly stature and carriage. He had an eye an eagle might have envied. In every aspect he was every inch a man, and as he walked before his regiment, in the attitude of command, or with his clarion voice addressed them in bis frequent and fervid appeal to their pride and chivalry, he impressed every beholder with an admiration approaching veneration. 'A noble spirit calm and high TU.4 v>*wi+ foor t)?Q t will not how. JLiiat vaiiuuf ivai, %mw ..... Was written in his manly eye Aud on his manly brow." I am no man-worshipper, yet I have seen men who gave me faith in human perfectibility. Col. Butler was one of them. I studied him closely, and while his character displayed every virtue, it was unblemished by a single fault or infirmity. What virtue did he lack ? He was as brave as a lion, and as tender and compassionate as a woman, lie was just, generous and magnanimous. As a remarkable instance of his mercy and magnanimity, I will give an example.? George Griffin, my mess-raate, a gallant and brilliant young man, but hasty and passionate, disobeyed an order of Col. Butler, and being reprimanded by him, Griffin retorted j very sharply, insulting Col. Butler in the presence of his regiment. I saw the flash of Butler's eye, the flush of his cheek, and the quiver of his compressed lip, and I trembled for the fate of my imprudent friend But the gathering storm passed from the features of Butler, and a benignant smile followed. It was a momentary struggle between pride and discipline, against the sweet ness and mildness of his nature. He came up to Griffin, and excused him with a mild and pater .1 remonstrance. From any other man but Butler the imprudence of Griffin, who was a private in the ranks, would have cost him his life, or the extreme rigor of military law. Butler was frank, and manly, ingenious and candid, as a child. "True to his word, in every thought sincere? He knew no wish, but what the world might hear." , He was unselfish, and self-sacrificing, patient, uncomplaining, and modest. The af- i flections and relations between him and his 1 men, were on his part kind, solicitous, and i paternal, and on their part, affectionate, filial i and obedient. They were proud of Butler, and he was proud of them. He was a sad, and profoundly melancholy j man. The hot sirocco had passed over, and blasted the green pastures of his youth, and but oue impulse, one sentiment, one pleasure remained, and that was duty. He was deep- ! ly abstracted and thoughtful. With his ' head bowed as if with suffering and his good ' eword hugged under his arm, I have seen 1 him walk for four hours, sad, solitary, and abstracted, in self-communion. I slept by his side on the last night before he died, when only 600 of us were threatened by 12,000 Mexicans, who only waited the coming of the morning to plunge down upon us. At the dawn of day he was up, surveying the held of death. I was up with him, and he talked to me in a tone of unusual sadness, t He felt that his hour was about to come.? ] The presentiment was fulfilled, and the sun ] set that evening, blushing upon a field stain- , ed with the blood of five thousand men, and t among them was Butler, and with him near- i ly one half of his Palmettoes. James P. Dickenson was Lieut. Colonel. He was a man of striking and imposing ap- i pearance?tall, powerful and of perfect fig- j ure. He was a good officer, and severe disciplinarian. He was almost insanely proud, vain and ambitious. I never saw a man whose heart so panted after glory and fame as his. He was perfectly insensible to fear, and courted danger as a lover woos his bride. He bad been married only a few months ' to a lady of surpassing beauty and charms, j but he gave up his young bride for his am- j bition. j He had resolved "to do or die,"?to come ! back covered with glory, or to die at the : cannon's mouth. He would have charged his regiment upon ten thousand men.? While wounded and almost dying, he went! on a litter ten or twelve miles, with a guard j of only a dozen men, when the enemy was I on both sides of him, and he seemed to take | ? < ?1- - _ J i i pleasure in the danger 01 ine aaveuiiue.? The battle was comiDg cn and he was then commander of the Palmcttoes, but he was fast dying from his wound, and his soul was in agony?not at dying, for he dreaded Dot ! death, but because he could not die on the field of battle. I was one of his escort on this adventure, and I parted with him I confess with little regret, for though he was a hero, I had no attachment for him. I never saw him again. He died five days afterwards, on the 13th of September, 1847, while the thunder of the last battles was pealing grateful music to his dying ear. A. II. Gladden was the Major. Previous to his election he was little known and notdistinguished. He bad thegood fortune, however, to have won the favor of a lady of distinction and influence, and mainly by her interest and efforts in his favor he was elected. He had been a militia officer for some time, and he was the best tactician and drill officer in the regiment. And, in fact, as a tactician he had no superior in the army, even among the oddest regular officers. He was an admirable officer and a good man.? He was stout, short, and aldermanic in person, lively, humqfous, and pleasant in disposition, of good heart, and tender emotions. He was also a very brave and chivalrous man.

He commanded the regiment until the close of the war. He is the only survivor of the field officers. He is now a citizen of New Orleans, and a Commission Merchant in that city. Tiie Cunning Thrush.?There is much more intellect in birds than people suppose. An instance of that occurred the other day at a slate quarry belonging to a friend from whom we have the narrative. A thrush, not aware of the expansive properties of gunpowder, thought proper to build her nest on a ridge of the quarry, in the very centre of which they were constantly blasting the rock. At first she was very much discomposed by the fragments flying in all directions, but still she would not quit her chosen locality. She observed that a bell rang whenever a tarin was about to be fired, and that at the notice the workmen retired to safe positions. In a few days, when she heard the bell, she quitted her exposed situation and flew down to where the workmen sheltered themselves, dropping close to their feet. There she would remain until the explosion bad taken place, and then return to her nest. The workmen observed this, narrated it to their employers, and it was told to visitors who came to view the quarry. The visiters naturally expressed a wish to witness so curious a specimen of intellect, but as the rock could not always be blasted when visiters came, the bell was rung instead, and for a few times answered the same purpose. The thrush flew down close to where they stood, but she preceived the change, and it interfered with the process of incubation; the consequence was that afterwards when the bell was rung, she would peep over the ledge to ascertain if the workmen did retreat, and if they did not she would remain where she was.? London Literary Journal. Jerusalem.?The Jerusalem correspondent of the Boston Post graphically describes the ruin and desolate condition of the Holy City. He says: The women, clothed from head to foot in white sheets, with their faces concealed by a black veil, resemble so many ghosts just risen from their subterranean abodes; more especially as they have a great fancy for cemeetries, where they daily congregate to howl. No sound of youth?there are no more boys in the streets?no sound of wheels ?there are no carriages?the dogs, mangy and wolfish, snarl and snap when you disturb them in their daily work as scavengers, a :d make the livelong night hideous with their contentions?the very birds do not sing, but cry to each other with a dissonant chirp or complaio, with a harsh murmup/* From the horrors of the city if we pass to the environs, we find naught but bare rocks?stones and dust beneath?the bright sun, reflected from every object, burns into the brain?no grass, no trees, no green thing?the promenade cemeetries?the scats are wbited sepulchres. Here have been buried whole generations of Jews ; here are the bones of the Assyrian, the Egyptian, the Chaldean, the Persian, the Greek, the Syrian, the Saracen, the Crusader, the Turk. In fin'e, Jerusalem is nought but a Heap, of mouldering bones and shattered houses. tQF A little fop, conceiving himself insulted by a gentlemau who ventured to give bim some wholesome advice, strutted up to bim with an air of importance, and said: "Sir, you are no gentleman?here is my card consider yourself challenged ! Should [ be from home when you honor me with a sail, I shall leave word with a friend to settle all the preliminaries to your satisfaction." To which the other replied : "Sir, you are a fool! Here is my card? consider your nose pulled. And should I not be at home when you call on me, you will find I have left orders with my servant to show you into the street for your impudence."

Jfsrmcr's Jtpartotfnt. TRAINING OF AGRICULTURISTS. BY,A. G. SUMMER. We have often been asked the question? Why should the agriculturists know more than other people ? They certainly should, for in our country they have more to do than other classes; a greater multiplicity of pursuits are here crowded into the planter's calling than in any other occupation. They have to make more use of the powers or laws of nature than others. They are forced to use the elements as tools. They are practical chemists, whether aware of it or not; for they make use of the various substances | which nature gives them, which they com- i bind, separate, modify and chaDge, to sim- j pies and compounds. The plantation is at j one and the same time, a labratory and a i workshop; and in proportion as they operate j in such a way as to afford the several ele- j merits of which the substances are composed, | and upon which they are operating, to dis- | unite or combine, so will be the measure of their success. They depend upon the vegetable world for subsistence?their labor is aiuoug and upon the plants of the earth, and they should know the proper name and nature of every tree, herb and plant. They have to contend with insects and animals? they should know the habits and nature of these more intimately than any other class of people?they have to till the earth, and put its soil into a proper condition to produce a good crop. They have to change its natural i state to adapt it to the various purposes and crops?then, why should they not kuow more and better respecting the ingredients of their, soils, and the various mineral and fossil substances which they may wish to appropriate to their uses? They have to '-'discern the face of the sky," watch the changes of the atmosphere, and regulate their movements in accordance with those changes, tempera- ( turet and all the climatic fluctuations.? Why, then, should they not know as much, or more, of the composition of the air, or atmosphere, and the science of meteorology, than any other people? They must use all the various tools and implements of labor? they must take advantage of the principles of mechanics, and the application of mathematics to practical life. Is there any good reason why they should not know as much, or even more, than others, respecting mechanical science or natural philsophy ? In this country tlfey have to contribute largely to the support and formation of the Government, and upon them depends the selection of the rulers and law-makers. Why, then, should they not understand the fundamental principles of national law, political science and political economy ? They have to administer to the sickness of animals under their charge, heal wounds and restore health. Why, then, should they not perfectly understand comparative anatomy, at least?and, also, physiology, as well as the symptoms and treatment of diseases? Indeed, so wide is field of the agriculturist, so extensive his labors, so numerous the ohjects with which he is connected, so various the operations he has to perform, that we verily believe ho should be the best educated and best informed man upon tfie earth Can a man conquer, or make himself perfectly familiar with every science, and any thing ? By no means; yet, nevertheless, he should have his mind so well stored with the general principles of all the sciences, that he can be guided by them when it becomes necessary to learn more minutely, and to know when he employs a man devoted particularly to any one branch, whether he is competent to the task, and will discharge his duty to him with fidelity and precision. SMUT ON WHEAT. Smut seems to be a parasitic fungus, of which there are several varieties, as on Indian corn, wheat etc. The black dust of ma-, tured smut is to be regarded as its seeds, each particle of which, however light and evanescent is capable of germinating and producing its kind when brought into favorable circumstances. It is difficult to say precisely how these seeds find their way into the receptacles of growing wheat. But it is probable that they adhere to the kernels of wheat when sown ; and we know that iu some way they are carried upward with the growing plant; and are developed at the base of the Dewly forming kernels, simultaneously with the bursting of the spike from its sheath, or perhaps a little before the head makes its appearance. From this time the fungus grows and developes itself more or less rapidly, as the weather favors or otherwise, drawing its nutriment from the plant, thus partially depriving the forming wheat of its appropriate food, as well as insinuating a hurtful ingredient. Now, on the supposition that the smut in wheat coiues from sporulus (smut seed) distributed with the seed wheat, which we suppose to be correct, it follows, that if you could wash the seed before sowing, perfectly clean, there would be no smut in the crop, for however warm, damp and lowry the season, smut will not grow, uuless there is seed for it to grow from. But it is impossible to secure perfect cleanliness from these sporules or smut seeds. They are too minute to be all washed away and their vitality is not destroyed by pure water. Hence the importance of washing seed wheat in some solutions that will destroy the vitality of such of the sporules as fail to be washed out. Salt, plaster, quick lime, arsnic, sulphate of copper and other things have been recommended. Ti.e first is always at hand, and the next two are seldom far absent from the farm; and we believe that these are sufficient. If the seed be first washed in pure water, then in a weak brine, of say one quart of salt to a pail full of water, and then dried in plaster or quick-lime, (the latter not to be used too fresh nor very freely, lest it injure the vitality of the wheat,) we think that there will be little danger from smut, and that the operation will be favorable rather than otherwise to the germination and early growth of the seed wheat.?Plow, Loom (fr Anvil. SSP It has been humanely suggested, that before putting bits iu the mouths of horses, they should be warmed. In freezing weather, the air is such as to make the iron, when put into the mouths of the poor brutes, set like hot iron, giving much pain. Thoughtless persons can prove this by putting their tongues in contact with pieces of cold iron out of doors. Thev will find how easily it' will take the skin off.

Our whiskey is pure, and we warrant it j free from any 'Adulteration' whatever.' We | find the foregoing in the advertisement of one j of the liquor makers of this State. Why is it that it has become necessary for such as-1 surances and warrants to bo given? Para-1 graphs like the following fully answer the question :? . The Lebanon (Ohio) records the death of four men from drinking whiskey with strychnine in it, and says that tens of thousands of fish in the stream below the distillery have died. Two tons of dead fish were taken out of the mill race, which was literally choked with them. Years ago such things were not known, and it was not necessary for manufacturers and dealers to assure their customers that the compounds sold by their were free from all 'adulteration.' They were bought and swallowed without any twinge of fear suggesting that possibly there might be a trace of some poisonous ingredient blended therein that might rob them of their allotcddays.? Nobody dreamed of there being 'death in the pot.' The fish swam in the brook below the old still house unharmed by the drains from diluted <slnns'. and men drank the half hot 'doublings' without writhing to the death in the convulsive pangs produced by the fatal mix vomica. But a great change has been wrought in the mysteries of distillation :? Double the numberjof gallons are now made from a bushel of grain?the liquor is stronger?tipplers look into the cup with a suspicious leer?and the fish die by thousands below the distillery ! Well! this is an age of wonders and astonishing achievements. One need not be surprised if tipplers perform the journey, already swift, from the groggery to the grave in one half the usual time henceforth. Progress is ever on the alert) and if topers find that they now and then 'take a horn' that blows them up instanter and produces a certain goring sensation in the pit of the stomach, with twinges and twitching.? over thesystem, they should, in all justice, give the credit to their last potion as being whiskey of extraordinary ability, capable of performing improved tricks such as the old fashioned stuff never could reach. And if the drunkard finds, under the new system, an ugly grave gaping its hungry jaws across his path full twenty years or more before he expected it, he need not try to shun it but make a leap towards it in the dark, and give progress the thanks for speeding him over the downward road in half the time his father did, with fewer knocks and bruises. Seriously : There is no telling what the cupidity and avarice of man will lead him to. It is the love of gold that prompts the distiller to mingle poisonous ingredients with his compounds, in order to increase theirquantity, regardless of the sacrifice of human life he causes. 'Pure whiskey' kills men soon enough in the old fashioned way, and if the present system of adulteration continues, we may expect the ratio of mortality from drunk eoness to be largely increased. This may work well in the end, for all men are desperately afraid of touching anything that will kill a rat, and the strychnine and other poisonous chemcials so much in vogue with man-ufacturers just now, maybe the means of doing more for temperance and morality than all the moral suasion, the legal suasion the preaching and printing that has ever been employed. So mote it be ! PASSINGbOFF TIME. How often do we hear of young men engaging in this and that pursuit to pass off the time. If a young man engages in some course not generally approved, such as drinking, gambling, &c., and ho is reproved for it by his seniors, he excuses his folly by saying that he was 'only passing off the time.' Time lays heavily, does it ? Loiter about the streets and corners in idleness, whittling, smoking and chcwiug, and in less time than you think, you will find the time for improvement and moral culture hopelessly passed. Time drags, does it? Go to the gambling hell then, stake your money and your honor there?rattle the dice?strike the billiard ball?shuffle the, cards, and in a little while you will look wistfully back to the time, and money, aDd hoDor forever lost. Time burthens you, does it? Haste to the grog-shop and drink the poisonous compounds set before you. Treat your fellows and be merry. The days have twenty-four hours and to-morrow will be a new day. Keep drunk till to-morrow, and you will soon see Time flying away in the distance with your all, even your life, your soul and hope of i Heaven on its elevating wing. Bemeraber! 'Time flies,' and it would be wise to never strive to pass it off. A moment is but a moment, and it is golden. Secure them all; for in the end you may find you are none too well provided for the journey to another world, where time has passed indeed into Eternity. Spirit of the Aye. Following the Worm The worm of a still pot goes round and round very crook ea. The whiskey has to follow its course and windings. The man who drinks much whiskey will | go round and round very crooked. Therefore: the reeling of the drunkard is ! ODly following the worm as he goes round I and round very crooked. This is a plain case and one abundantly ! established by facts.?Follow the worm, young man, and you will one day find that you are going round and round, very crooked. Spirit of the Age. JSSf Once upon a time a liquor seller had a sum of money stolen from him?money he gathered from the sale of divers drinks. Failing to secure the thief, he consoled himself by Baying the money would never do him any good, as money obtained in that unrighteous way burned through the pocket. Quere. If Mug had become possessed of the said money in some way and manner besides selling grog, might it not have done him more good? Not being versed in the Hcience of Astrology and the magics, we: refer the question to other and wiser heads.!
